If these gutless wonders don't make their picks - are they disqualified and then do I jump into 12th place
Maybe a penalty system needs to be put in place where the Thursday Night Game is an automatic loss - and these schlubs are also deducted '1 win' for their tardiness - kind of like a boxer for hitting repeatingly hitting below the belt, or clinching - or a tennis player (never mind - won't go there).......
I'm willing to bet this is a behavioral pattern (problem) with all of the above

I'm willing to bet this is a behavioral pattern (problem) with all of the above They won't be disqualified for missing Thursday but if they don't pick by 1pm on Sunday then they'll be given losses across the board and their records will look very ugly. So ugly that some of these guys will simply stop playing. There's always at least one poster who plays the first week and then never shows up again but I was hoping for as few of those as possible.

Here are my picks for week 2, along with analysis
Ravens over Bengals. This is a difficult game to pick, I could see it going either way, but I’ll take the Ravens because of their strong defense, I think they will shut down the Bengals rushing game and I don’t think their passing attack can top the Ravens secondary, and I think Flacco is going to have somewhat of a rebound year.
Falcons over Panthers. I think that the Falcons offensive weapons will be too much for the Panthers defense, especially their secondary, I think Matt Ryan will have a big game and the Falcons will get the win.
Chargers over Bills. The Bills look horrendous, they have no offense and their defense is below average, the Chargers will rebound from a disappointing week 1 and cream the Bills.
Vikings over Packers. If Rodgers doesn’t play the Vikings will win easily, if he does he will still be less than 100% against arguably the NFL’s top defense and the Vikings will get the win.
Saints over Browns. I think Brees will pick apart the Browns defense and the Saints will rebound from their week 1 choke with a dominating performance over the Browns.
Dolphins over Jets. I think the Jets will have somewhat of a letdown after their upset of the Lions and the Dolphins will put up another nice showing, they are an underrated team with a good offense.
Steelers over Chiefs. I expect a high scoring game here but I think Big Ben and the Steelers will bounce back from their week 1 poor outing and get the win over KC.
Eagles over Buccaneers. I think the Eagles offense will have a much more impressive outing than they did in week 1 against a weak Bucs defense and will win in a close game.
Texans over Titans. Texans defense will dominate the one dimensional Titans offense and the Texans will win in fairly convincing fashion.
Redskins over Colts. There should be a lot of offense in this one but I expect Smith and the Skins offense to carve up the very weak Colts defense and the Skins defense to force a couple of TO’s and get enough stops for the Skins to pull out a close win.
Rams over Cardinals. The Rams look like arguably the NFL’s best and most complete team, and the Cardinals are still figuring things out, I expect a strong performance from the Rams on both sides of the ball and they will win in dominating fashion.
Lions over 49ers. This is a difficult pick, I could see this game going either way, but I’ll go with the Lions to win because they have the stronger defense IMO and I think they will be motivated after their humiliating loss to the Jets and will get Patricia his first win.
Raiders over Broncos. I think the Raiders will win in a high scoring game, they are underrated and have a decent amount of talent on both sides of the ball.
Jaguars over Patriots. I think the Jaguars defense will keep Brady in check, and I’m not sure if the Pats can establish a solid running game, and I think the Jags will be motivated to win after narrowly losing to the Pats in the AFC Title Game last year and will get the win at home.
Giants over Cowboys. The Cowboys have no offense, while the Giants will be a much improved team IMO, Giants get the road win.
Bears over Seahawks. I expect the Bears defense to dominate the Seahawks offense that has very few weapons, and the Bears offense will play well against an average Seahawks defense, Bears will win fairly easily IMO.

Well Im always gonna now be a week behind. So be it. I totally forgot. If you want add me in at 8-8. Here is how I had week one (I play with one of my friends) Eagles > Falcons (1-0) Bengals > Colts (2-0) Ravens > Bills (3-0) Saints > Bucs (3-1) NE > Hou (4-1) 49ers > Viks (4-2) Ten > Dol (4-3) Jaqs > Giants (5-3) Ptt > Cle (ummm? 5-3-1...how does this one work? Ill just give me a loss 5-4) KC > SD (6-4) Dal > Car (6-5) Wash > Ari (7-5) Sea > Den (7-6) GB > Chi (8-6) Det > NYJ (8-7) Rams > Oak (9-7) Ill gladly take 8-8 or even 7-9 to be fair. IDK why id lie about a subpar 9-7, but, I didnt put them here on paper. So Ill def take a game or 2 penalty for that. Ill even do a 3, or just X out week one and I stay behind. Or dont add me at all and I will just for funsies. 9-7 8-8 7-9 6-10 Ill gladly accept, np. Again dont add me, Ill play just for fun, idc. Thursday September 13th 8:20pm EST Baltimore @ Cincinnati Sunday September 16th 1:00pm Carolina @ Atlanta LA Chargers @ Buffalo Minnesota @ Green Bay Cleveland @ New OrleansMiami @ NY Jets Kansas City @ PittsburghPhiladelphia @ Tampa Bay Houston @ Tennessee Indianapolis @ Washington4:05pm Arizona @ LA Rams
Detroit @ San Francisco4:25pm Oakland @ DenverNew England @ Jacksonville 8:20pm NY Giants @ DallasMonday September 17th 8:15pm Seattle @ ChicagoI'll need a committee opinion on this one. Should I give shady an X for week 1 (0-16) and let him play catch up? Or he can just play off the record, for fun? Can't slot you in at 9-7, 8-8, or anything else dude, without evidence of your earlier picks. That would be unfair.

Kind of like the guy sneaking into a movie but tells the usher he lost his ticket.

If I go to the Lottery offices and say "I forgot to buy a lottery ticket this week, but these would've been the numbers I would've chosen so you should pay me the money I would've won if I had bought a ticket this week", do you think they're going to pay me the money? If you miss the deadline, that's your fault and you should get a goose egg for that.

And I’m good friends with shady, but it’s only fair to give him 0’s for week 1, since he didn’t submit his picks, it’s unfair to those who did submit picks to give him anything other than an 0-16 since there’s no evidence of how many picks he would’ve gotten right.

There’s no reason for you to back out shady, and you didn’t disrupt the thread. You can still enter with an 0-16 record, there is plenty of time to catch up and still finish with a decent record, your participation would be welcomed.

FFS there isn’t a billion dollar pot at stake. Let him be 8-8 or whatever and start picking from there week 2.
